Indian Election Results: Five shocking outcomes for Narendra Modi and the BJP | India Votes 2024

After months of campaigning and voting, India’s marathon election has thrown big surprises for the incumbent #NarendraModi and the opposition #INDIA bloc. While the governing National Democratic Alliance secured enough seats to form a government, the BJP has lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in a decade. Meanwhile, the opposition INDIA bloc led by the Congress Party defied the odds to make significant gains and claim more than 40 per cent of seats in the 543-seat lower house - the #LokSabha.

INDIA VOTES 2024, presented by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is a six-episode series that takes you on an insightful journey through the heart of Indian democracy. While the Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi is seeking a third term, a brand new Coalition is on the bloc – the I.N.D.I.A (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) featuring key opposition leaders such as Congress scion #RahulGandhi, TMC leader #MamataBanerjee, and AAP leader #Arvind Kejriwal among many others.
